Sarah's first swim race

Sarah had her first fun-meet at Club Warriors this weekend. She had a great time, and - since she's never raced before - she had all best times! :-) She swam the 50 free, 50 back, 25 free, 25 back, and 100 kick. For some of the races, she swam against the better "Jr.C" swimmers. She did really well and we were very proud of her.

You can see some photos below (click to see larger images), and I'll attach some video as well.



Warm-up:


50 yard freestyle:


25 yard freestyle:


25 yard backstroke

Operation closet-clean!

Leah took the kids to her parents' house for the week, and I stayed home. I decided to surprise her by tearing out the walk-in closet, and building a custom solution. It is made by ClosetMaid. Halfway through pulling all the stuff out of our closet, I realized I may be in over my head. Construction time will only take half the time - the other half of the time will be sorting and folder through the piles. Oh boy.... I finished it just in time. As a matter of fact, I was done putting away the tools just as they came home. You can see some before-and-after shots below.

You're only as young as you feel

From the post on YouTube:

"An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he'll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, it's all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do"

Cottage - Allison's Pics (slideshow)

Here are some pictures that Allison Pessack took - mostly of the kids tubing and kayaking, and us visiting with Sharon. We kept forgetting to bring our camera with us when we went to Sharon's... :-@
